A revised edition of the best-seller that explains the intrinsic relationship between faith and works and reveals why Jesus is both Savior and Lord to all who believe.

As The End Times Near

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?

I don't always care for MacArthur's writings. He seems a bit full of himself. But on this topic he is right on the spot. The church is in the process of replacing the real Jesus with a made-up non-lord of the universe one. Buy this book, read it, and pray for us all

EXCELLENT.

The Intro. alone is worth double the price.
Through the Bible and this book, I understand genuine saving faith.
Thank you, Dr. MacArthur.

One of the most important books in the past 20 years

I first read this book when it was published in 1988. It countered the easy believism, self-delusional evangelism pervasive in my then-independent Baptist circles and confirmed the serious gospel of God's grace. I read several of the one-star reviews, and they typically represent a gross misunderstanding of grace that provides comfort to Christians whose children made decisions and then departed from the faith in adulthood.

The Bible commands us to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and speaks much about the pursuit of obedience as evidence of true faith. Obedience does not save, but the truly converted person will seek, however imperfectly, to obey his Lord. There is no salvation, only delusion, in a "gospel" which divorces obedience from faith. As the book of James aptly states, "Faith without works is dead."

Those who denounce MacArthur as mixing works with grace misrepresent the author. This is a serious book for those serious about following Christ. I would give it ten stars if that were an option.

Clearly Revealed by Christ

I am amazed at how people argue against this, so called, "Lordship Salvation" topic. Whether one reads the book or not, Jesus Christ was perfectly clear that He is Lord over those who believe in Him. The fruit of salvation *MUST* be expressed in a Christians life to reveal the truth of conversion. Many people state that they are Christians, but show forth NO expression of that truth in their lives. It's simple ~ Jesus demands obedience! The Bible shows forth this truth time and time again...

[Quote]

"Then his (Jesus) mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you. "But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and DO IT." Luke 8:19-21

I recommend this book to all Christians. I believe MacArthur does an excellent job in defending the truth of Jesus' Gospel. If you are not a fan of John MacArthur, or you don't believe in the sovereignty of God; please do NOT let that stop you from reading this book. The truth contained in its pages alone is worth the read. :)
